This is pretty high calibre work. This would be at home in some RPG book or something you'd see at a Con being sold, or like a Magic card thing. I always think of oils but you'd be hard pressed to get the detail. I only think of oils because you could sell a painting like for this for big money.

I think the only thing you need compositionally would be some sort of person going to that castle like some sort of hero or adventurer, not res'd in a high quality sense but an impression of it so we the viewer could become that person. I'm going there. I mean we are already there as a viewer.

Beyond that I don't really know, the palette is a bit limited but not really, like you couldn't really add to much to the palette.
?? Its hard to critique because its a finished, refined product.

I think what really kills the artwork in a good way is that you nailed the composition in terms of drawing the viewer in with the spiky mountains.

Anyways great rendering!
